SPECIAL TO TEE SENTINEL
Interesting HI ternRtiOnal Case.
WASHINGTON, Jan. ia decision
| was reached in the novel and interest
ingi International case OF the King OF the
Belgians, by Charles Mali, Consul,
against a keeper OF the common Jail OF
Hudson county, New Jersey. On the
10th of last October there occurred on
the Belgian steamship Norland, lying
at her dock at Jersey City, a fight
| between her sailors, in the course OF
| which one of the same named Widen
| hus, stabbed and killed another
named Frigans. Both were Belgian
| subjects. The police authorities ar
| rested the murderer and two other
| sailors, who were witnesses Of the
| fight, and imprisoned them in the
Jersey City jail. The Belgian Consul,
acting under instructions from his
Government, demanded the release OF
all the prisoners, on the ground that
the crime had been committed within
the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Bel
| GUM, and that under the law OF ma
tions, and a treaty between Belgium
and the United States, he, as Consul
had sole authority in the premises. The
| demand for the release ofthe prisoners
was refused, whereupon the Consul
| took out a writ of habeas corpus, and
upon the dismissal of that writ by the
| United States Circuit Court, he
brought the case to this court by APP
peal. Justice Waite speaking for the
court in this case, says: The prln-
ciple which governs the whole matter
is this: Disorders which only dis
turbit the a OF a ship, o. those on
| board, are to be dealt with exclusively
| by the sovereignty Of the home OF the
| ship, but those which disturb the re-
pose of people at the shore, may be
suppressed, and if need be, the offend
ers punished by the proper author
tiles of the local jurisdiction. 1t may
not be easy at all times to determine
which of the two jurisdictions the par
tieular act of the disorder belongs.
| Much will, undoubtedly, depend on
| the attending circumstances. But
all must concede that a felonious
homicide is a subject for local jurisdic-
ton, and if the proper authorities are
proceeding with a case in the regular
| manner, a Consul has no right to
interfere to prevent the decree. The
Circuit Court, in dismissing the writ
Of habeas corpus, is affirmed.
The wrecked German Ship Eliza
beth.
New York, Jan. ia wrecking
steamer has been engaged stripping
the wrecked German ship Elizabeth
to-day, and it is taken for granted that
the ship is bound to 60 to pieces.
Thus far Is bodies of the lost crew
have come ashore, the last one at 5
O'Clock this evening. From the
marked resemblance Of one OF the
bodies recovered, to that identified as
| Captain Halberstadt, it is supposed to
be his brother or son. The remains of
the five life-saving men were buried
to-day. People came from many
miles around to attend the service. On
one of the bodies a note was found,
written at Bremen, November 8, and
was addressed to Frank H. Shaler.
Two OF the bodies had papers identi-
flying them as Gustave Bolleher and
G. zimmerman, and a sailors bag has
been washed ashore with the name Of
f. l.. Maldenhaw written on it.
California Wines.
New YORK, Jan. 11.-Bonfort's
wine circular says e~ditorally, in review
ing the figures of business for the past
year, there is nothing more striking and
gratifying than the large increase in
the receipts of California wines.
That these wines are growing in popu-
lar demand at a most rapid rate is
without question. The reason is that
California is now producing good,
wholesome table wines, and these are
being bought and used in place of
cheaper grades of foreign wines. If
there is as much improvement in
California wines in the next ten years, |
there has been in the past year, |
the of that State win be
taxed to supply the demand.
